Introduction

In this post, it will be seen how to pause the execution code for a certain time in microseconds.  Basically, this function pauses the program for a certain time and after this time it continues as normal. 

The function for pausing the execution code for a certain time in microseconds using Arduino IDE is delayMicroseconds()  This function is used to set a time of pause.

Requirements

Ethernet or 20 I/Os PLC:      Ethernet PLC     20 I/Os PLC     

 Industrial Shields boards:   Industrial Shields Boards

Function

delayMicroseconds(Microseconds)

Parameters

microseconds: time expressed in milliseconds -> 1000ms = 1 sec

Example

Code Example, blinking of analog outputs every 0,5ms:

void setup() {
  pinMode(A0_5, OUTPUT); // configure A0.5 as OUTPUT
}

void loop() {
  analogWrite(A0_5, 0);
  delayMicroseconds(500);         // delay 0,5ms
  analogWrite(A0_5, 255); 
  delayMicroseconds(500);
}
